A Woodlands man who authorities said was drunk and tried to evade police, sometimes driving at 140 mph, has been convicted of driving while intoxicated, officials said Thursday.

A Fort Bend County jury convicted Joshua Wimer after deliberating less than 30 minutes, officials from the district attorney's office said in a news release. Wimer, 27, was charged after a high-speed chase in August 2012.

Prosecutors said Wimer was traveling 95 mph southbound on U.S. 59 when a DPS trooper pulled him over in Stafford.

Wimer initially slowed and exited the freeway, but then sped off and re-entered the highway. He would lead authorities on a chase that went 19 miles and lasted nine minutes, authorities said. At one point, he lost control and crashed through a stop sign on a service road. He eventually pulled over and was arrested in Rosenberg.

Wimer exited the highway four times as he tried to evade the trooper, sometimes at speeds up to 140 mph, officials said.

Wimer was convicted on a misdemeanor DWI charge. He was sentenced to a $1,000 fine and 13 days in jail.
